71. Daytona Favorites, Corvette Playmate, CET, Perfect Storm
Monday, January 21st, 2008Rolex Favorites
The two things Murphy likes most about the 24 Hours of Daytona (aside from the fact it’s 24 hours) are, one, it’s just when the Bear’s itching to get out of his cave for more racin’, and, two, he’s got no idea who’s going to win the blasted thing. The Bear’s first 24? Al’s last win. Next? Tony’s Jag-you-ares beat Poor-she. Who saw that coming? In most things, Murphy only knows what someone tells him, and nobody’s told him much of use about Daytona yet. Still, the Bear does have his favorites. He looked at the 25 Daytona Prototype entries and found five he thinks are most likely to be on the podium come Sunday.
